I can't help but notice that India stays low, when I was there I saw many fats and skinny fats, I think what's keeping the average down is poverty.

After learning the nuances of Indian cuisine (had to learn how to cook spicy food w/ peas...my fat boss hates both of those things, so she won't take my food), I found out that the fat content of their food is relatively low, and frequently use fresh vegetables and lean meats such as chicken in all their dishes.
Not only that, but it tastes delicious. Yet fatties will turn their nose up to something that isn't dripping in grease or deep fried.

I see plenty of processed snacks at Indian groceries though... and plenty (seemingly) of delicious oil and milkfat being used at Indian restaurants. It certainly possible for those people to cook for fatties. But yeah it's definitely not required in their cuisine. I eat my own renditions of Indian recipes all the time... you just control the ingredients according to the result you want, like with most any other type of food. And yeah it is so tasty.

During the 90s being fat was still seen as being healthy or wealthy because you can afford to be fat. People would say "you look well" when they mean you've gained weight.
